attending that purchase be then solved
Will he bring in flock of goats aud
turn goat herd, or will he explore and
torture the bowels of the earth for

or will he turn his attention to the more
lucrative occupation of running lines for
a railroad and bridge to follow? The
great accumulation OF railroad material
at Elk Point, said to be already enough
to build road from there to the river,
and the curious movements OF the rail-
road surveyors in south creek, may in
dictate that surprising developments of
railroad enterprises are about to be
made. We hope so. We have all been
on the anxious seat long enough.
The opinion prevails that the accumu-
lation of railroad material at Elk Point
is for the reconstruction of the Milwau-
kee line westward to Yankton, section
of road upon which the light iron rails
OF the old Dakota Southern must be re-
placed by heavy steel rails to put 1t in
shape for through traffic via the Manila
cut off.

the savage Indians who, where the
white mans fire was fercest, tried to
stop it by tying at that place the help

mans children. lie adds by this to the
